Jesus said that those of us that are the followers of him will end up with a lot of pain from different causes. If it is because we are suffering for Jesus or die teaching about the Bible, that is the best. But we are to be tested to make sure we will be all the stronger. So stand up for God and Jesus. Be strong. And keep loving them and all around you.

I hate it when people ask this, but that is only because I had to learn the answer the hard way. Bad things don't happen as punishment. It is a learning process, a test of your strength and determination. It is a way for us to grow spritiually and mentally. Going thru bad times is how we gain wisdom. God never gives us more than we can handle, although we may believe at the time that it is too much.

I don't think God CAUSES bad things to happen in general but perhaps he allows them to. Think of what the world would be like if nothing ever went wrong....if there were never any tragedies. While bad things happening are SAD, they do serve a purpose and that's to TEACH us...to make us see things in a different light. Every time a parent watches the news and sees another kidnapped little child, they hold their own children a little closer. Every time a co-worker tells you about her husband that abuses her or is unkind, it makes you appreciate your own spouse more. Everything, I believe, has a purpose. It's a fact that life ends so doesn't it make sense that, in God's wisdom, he at least creates a purpose in that death?

Because of atheists and other non believers we all punished in some way because we are letting this happen we need to work harder to stop the things that atheist are doing to hurt the Christians,Prayer is number one,we need to make more time to pray and work harder on stopping there nonsense,because when God punish them we are caught up in it also because we stand beside and let things happen.

There is always some good that comes from bad things. We may not know what it is or even see how anything good could possibly come from it, but that's the beauty of God. Christ's crusifixion and resurrection redeemed our souls to give us everlasting life. Tragedy is God's way of preparing us for who we are ultimately supposed to be.

How good or undesirable you're in straightforward terms effects how others in society view you, and in case you're undesirable sufficient you need to get some judgment against you. yet on the completed it makes no distinction in case you're good or undesirable as a techniques by way of fact the UNIVERSE is worried. I placed that for the period of all caps so human beings might word that i'm no longer suggesting which you be undesirable. maximum individuals attempt to be good considering that's what makes it ordinary for us to have a society and get alongside with others. yet by way of fact the universe is the source of excellent and undesirable issues that ensue to human beings, it ought to care much less regardless of in case you're socially nicely behaved or no longer.

1) Good people sometimes use their own agency and end up hurting thenselves or each other...we all make mistakes no matter how hard we're trying to be good.
2) Not so good people use their agency and hurt others.
3) Being temporarily mortal makes us subject to sickness, death, and ailments.
4) sometimes God gives us trials to help us learn and become stronger...like I give my baby tummy time (even though she hates it) because from it she is gaining the strength to hold her own head up.

Its because **** happens. That's it.
God isn't punishing anybody in that sense - if that were true then only saints would be happy and all the sinners would be dead. California tells us otherwise :)

God gives us trials to overcome so that we can learn and grow from our experiences. If only good things happened to us then we wouldn't be able to appreciate it.
If we were never sick, then we wouldn't appreciate being healthy.
